BE TRUE.

o, rear no costly marbled stone
Above my lowly lying head
When am dead,
But LET me rest In peace alone
with wild flowers DER my up-turned face,
To mark the place.
O. do not come to mourn for me,
Nor thed one sad, regretful tear
can not hear
The words you speak-I can not see
You bend DER my lowlying head.
When an dead.
But wfile live remember this:
Be true-ss Gods great shining stars:
Ny prison bars
You may not break, my lips to kiss
When, by and by, the grasses wave
Upon my grave.
